Entertainment Weekly has named its Entertainer of the Year, and it’s Robert Downey, Jr., star of 2008′s Iron Man and Tropic Thunder. Tina Fey landed the #2 spot. Sure, Downey’s comeback from drug addiction is impressive, but can he do a Sarah Palin accent?

Who Cares About Hollywood?
28 January 2008 4:14 PM | 4 CommentsI imagine a large number of people don't usually care about the Oscars, but those numbers must have increased this year.

30 November 2007 12:24 PM | No CommentsJesus made it very clear, “Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:20). He holds us to a standard where “good” simply isn’t enough. So what does this mean, then, for “good” men? What does this mean for the just and upright, the honorable? What does it mean for good cops like Richie Robbins, who once found 5 million dollars and turned in every cent of it? And Richie is an especially worthy cop to mention here. He, along with his team, brought down Harlem’s most dangerous drug lord and crime boss: Frank Lucas. Their story is the highlight of the big screen this fall as Ridley Scott’s latest film American Gangster has stormed the box office.
